The Little CBT Workbook

I haven't finished it yet but so far it has been very eye opening.

This book has swept me off my feet completely. The language is very simple and the suggestions are very practical. It has taught me to keep my anxiety at check and is my bible to which I keep referring on and off. I have also purchased Fear and self loathing in the city by the same author. Thanks a lot. If you are undergoing depression and shedding lots of money and yet getting only medicine to treat you then this book is a must have.

Bought this as a gift for a family member who wanted to give CBT a go after suffering some anxiety problems. Before I gave it to her, I had a good read through myself, as I am familiar with the basic principles and techniques. This is a well-explained little workbook, which covers all the basics in an easy-to-follow manner, is not at all intimidating, and has some great real-life examples and exercises to do. The recipient has really gotten into it, she has been working through the exercises, using examples from her day-to-day life and she thinks it is really helping her to get a handle on her anxiety and understand how to change her way of thinking. Don't get me wrong, this isn't going to magically cure serious mental health issues, but as an introduction to the subject and techniques used this is a great entry point.

great read would recommend

As a student about to enter the counseling field i feel this book will prove to be very useful helping clients.
